Cult following? Are you sure you spelt that correctly?
Anyhow. I've just got my £5 hifi rack home and it's all looking pretty good now.
Shame it's a bit late to show my system at Scalford at the weekend. £54.98 can get you a reasonable sound.

Funny old world! Maybe there should be an extra special prize for anyone who can manage to get LS3/5a's into their Cheap As Chips Challenge system...
Anyway, back on topic... :eyebrows:
I do need to sift through this thread and distil all the rules, and start an "official" thread I think - many thanks to Dave at Green Home Electronics for the generous offer of some prizes - and I am sure we can incorporate a sponsorship into the competition "Cheap As Chips Challenge sponsored by Green Home Electronics" sounds very grown-up and serious, doesn't it!
So - any more thoughts on the rules, please post asap.
99p for a perfect pair of Rogers 15 Ohm LS3/5a, not bad, unfortunately not me. I won a pair of tatty Celestion Ditton 15's on ebay for 99p, went to collect them (local) and the seller showed me his Rogers LS3/5a bought for 99p at a car boot sale. He also had a pair of B&W DM4's bought for £20.Quote:

My system will be making an appearance at Scalford on Sunday. Got a few cosmetic things to deal with in the meantime. And not just for the system.
lol, I have the same after tripping over due to uneven pavements, fractured nose, loads of blood from inside it and outside, black eye, bruised mouth, fractured bone in hand, broken rib and twisted ankle, not forgetting straining the recent hernia operation that I had.Quote:
